@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS 2 года назад
I have found that there are more schooling fish in freshwater that appear to be Stripers more so than in salt. White Perch. White Bass. Crappie. Even Catfish to a degree. I have been fooled plenty of times thinking I was over Stripers when I wasn’t. That’s definitely something to keep in mind. I recommend simply moving on when you find a school that won’t bite. 👍👍

Great video man! Thanks a lot for doing a few freshwater videos for us freshwater guys. I really enjoy the instructional videos. I fish a couple lakes without the river system you was fishing so I have to fish deep in the summer. Have you seen the seaqualizer striper? Curious on your thoughts on it for C&R summer fishing. Thanks again!
@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS
@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS 5 лет назад
Thanks brother!! I appreciate the comment!! I really like that tool. I grew up catching Lake Trout that we had trouble releasing, as a kid I rigged a milk crate with a 2 pound weight on it to get those fish back down to the 80-90 ft depths we caught them from so I think that equalizer is a great idea. You’re probably like me, we understand that a lot of the summertime fish die after release, but their chances are better in the lake than in the cooler. I think tools like that definitely increase survival chances. I know for a fact that it helped with lake trout because they were all tagged and I recorded them all just to see. Let me know if there is anything you would like to see in a video. Thanks again!👍👍

My understanding is 10-degree change at most for these baits. I have shocked more than a few doing too much of a cool down with ice. I've had lots of luck using foam off to keep that ammonia in check.

I got me a 25 gallon bait tank , I'm new to live bait fishing. I putt 2 1/2 cap fills to break the city water , 2 cups of salt , and 20 lbs of ice to cool it. , house water is 80 degrees, bait tank temp was 67 degrees , I'm fishing 27 feet down , the thermocline is at 35 feet , after 8 minutes my shad would die .Any help would help me learn this live bait , hybrid fishing! I think my bait tank temp was to low , and the shad maybe died of temp shock . By your video you dropped the temp by 10 degrees from surface temp , is this the normal in all the freshwater lakes you fish thanks and awesome video .I live in central TX, I fish Belton lake reservoir. Nothing like a hybrid bass tugging at the end of your line!
@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS
@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS 4 года назад
It definitely could be temp shock but 9 times out of 10 when bait dies fast on the hook it’s because you dropped the bait below or into the thermocline where there is very little dissolved oxygen. There are several layers to the thermocline, you maybe marking only one layer but there can be deadly layers for Shad higher up. Next time that happens set out a few test baits at different depths and see if any live longer than others. There can be a huge difference in 8 feet of water. I see this a lot with downlines

Another great video, Mike. For freshwater striper, can you live line small bluegill? They are easy and fun to catch, plus they are very abundant (at least where I live). I use them a lot as cut bait for catfish. I know some people use live bluegill to catch largemouth. I also heard a story about a guy who drifted live bluegill in the Indian River in Delaware. He only got a few drifts in the saltwater before the bait died, but he caught stripers. What do you think?
@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS
@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS 5 лет назад
Stripers ABSOLUTELY eat Bluegill. I’ve seen them cough up anything they fit down the gullet and something’s they can’t. Think about a Striper striking any artificial plug, WHO KNOWS what that Striper thought that plug actually was. It appears alive and swallowable- meets criteria 😁, and alive is just a bonus. On this particular lake White Perch are allowed to be caught in a cast net for Bait now and I have used them in a pinch. Just be careful about the laws where you live, everywhere is different of course, but lots of places let you use different kinds of Bream if you caught them on hook and line (like you do), and keep to creek limits. I HAVE heard of States that forbid certain Bream for bait. Thanks for the comment brother!! Great question!!

Hey Mike I live powhatan, VA. Went and targeted stripers down on the james before we had all these storms and caught my first striper while targeting them. Thanks for taking the time to explain as much as you do! I do have a couple questions. 1. How can I find them using just nav charts specifically on a river like tbe james as I'm not that confident in using my electronics. That and my no drill mount came flying off and about took me out last Wednesday. 2. I'm fishing just down from the maury street Bridge in Richmond. Should I be driving further east and fishing further down the river or stay in the area I'm at? Is there a certain point in the time of the year I should do this vs not? I'm running a 1860 tracker with a 50hp so I am limited when water is rough but willing to drive a bit further if quality and opportunity is going to increase. Thanks again for making the videos and sharing with all of us!

That was an excellent instructional video on Striper fishing. That's a super nice bait tank you've got there. I want to start casting for my own bait instead of buying it local. You throw like a champ. Have you got an instructional video on throwing a net? Also, I have been using chlorine remover for my city water. So far, it seems to do a good job as long as I let the tank run for a few hours before adding the herring. Again, great video. I learnt a thing or two from it.

Jim Bryson It’s a bait Caddy but they don’t make tanks anymore. I would get a Mel’s, Creek Bank or new Extreme.

Does it depend on which lake/state that allow you to net these baits?
@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS
@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS 3 года назад
There are definitely different laws by state, I don’t know if they are not allowed in any state, but there are size limits for sure.

Hey capt. Mike. I had a simrad question. When I pick a gps spot in my chart and hit "go to" the line to the spot I pick doesn't adjust as the boat moves? Is that how simrad works? My raymarine would constantly adjust as I left the dock to go out to a wreck.. love the vid. Did some stripper fishing on lake Anna in VA and used my t-top light to attract bait under the bridge too. It takes five mins and the sonar lights up with bait.. underwater dock lights work great too on fresh water lakes.

Brad 31 Hey brother, you will need to use auto routing to set a route to navigate by or you can set a route manually. When you enter “go to” numbers or a waypoint it will shoot a straight line to it just to show you where it is. 👍👍 Thanks Brother!!

Sorry brother. I travel so much nowadays that I can’t run trips anymore. To be a great guide you really have to stay on one or two bodies of water to deliver that lifetime trip. Shoot me an email though. Sometimes I have room for you to jump on for free. Mikesmedley9@gmail.com Thanks!!

Great video! My aunt and uncle have a house on the NC side in Pretty Creek. We come down (from Ohio)every summer so the girls can swim and I can fish. Taught myself to fish for Stripers trolling jigs and plugs. Of course I had a lot of help from some friends that have mastered the art of precision trolling on Lake Erie. Anyway looks like it’s time to learn to throw a cast net and do it Team Old School way. Keep rockin out the videos!

Hi Mike, first thank you for all the vids buddy!! Second is that a freshwater lake and if so the salt you added didn’t hurt the bait?
@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS
@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS 5 лет назад
Hey brother!! Yep, it’s a freshwater lake. We add salt to all kinds of Shad and Herring, but nothing else. They can live in both fresh and saltwater and do much better in captivity with some salt. Just don’t use table salt, get rock salt for pools or water softeners.

Man, why did you make this video? Now I have to go load the boat and head to SML striper fishing for a few days! I actually have a trip planned after the Labor Day crowd is over, then going up there for 3-4 days. I originally lived near Greensboro and traveled to VA to striper fish for years. I was a hardcore bass guy until I was invited to go striper fishing, two striper fishing trips and I was hooked. Within 6 months I had sold the bass boat, purchased a new 21' Carolina Skiff and completely rigged it as a striper boat. Now live on the coast catching all types of species from a 24' bay boat, but miss the striper action. I catch some large fish at the coast but still hard to beat the excitement of a large striper slamming a side planer or down line!

Chris M Definitely stop in to see Dewayne. He has every Striper toy you can think of in Captains Quarters. You need to fish the bridges in January and February for Stripers out there. Pitch eels and Bucktails. 100 fish days brother! Dewayne himself was one of the top guides and Striper tournament fishermen on SML. In fact he was also the NC State Champion for several years in the NSBA. He’s a bad ass.

@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS - It can be crazy up there when the fish are on. My best day was with 2 friends onboard. 6 side planers, 4 down rods and 2 free lines. 47 striper in 3.5 hours in one cove. I will defiantly go see Dewayne the day I get there. I usually launch and stay at Westlake hotel which is just North of the bridge.

thomas noland I appreciate that brother, but Unfortunately I had to stop guiding years ago when I started traveling so much and shooting video on so many different bodies of water. I never know exactly where I’ll be. You really need to fish 1 or 2 bodies to deliver a trip of a lifetime. It’s not possible to stay on consistent fishing when I’m always jumping around.

Thanks brother!! Kerr is a fun lake. I wish they would skip a few years on the stocking though. They put SO MANY millions of tiny Stripers in that lake over and over. Massive schools of Stripers so small they look like White Perch even after 2-3 years. I bet that lake would be like it was in the late 80’s early 90’s if they left it alone for 5-10 years. Just MY thoughts.
